a GLiMpSe Of Me...

Hmmm...got into a fight wit my mum the other day. It was a misunderstandin'. Dun really wanna talk 'bout it...but I made her cried. And I cried too, a bit... Finally, after 15 years plus since the last time I cried... Never thought dat I would hurt the feelings of the person who patiently and excitedly carried me in her womb for 9 months. Never thought dat it took me to do dat to cry again... I felt sooo damn bad dat night... But, it's all good now... At least we understand each other better. The other bad thing is I know I made my dad cried too, several times over the course of my life... I always knew dat, and I did try to make it better him. I told you before dat I'm not perfect, rite...so please have a lil' patience for me...

For Mama n Baba...from me......

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

For the people out there...this is a rare occasion for you to have a glimpse of my 'other' side. Enjoy it, cuz you won't know when you'll get the opportunity to see it again... But always remember dat I'll do EVERYTHIN' for my parents. They are the best thing dat ever happenned to me...
